Michael Phelps Wears Surf Shorts Swim Suit

Michael Phelps is wearing a different sort of swim suit these days. We think it looks great. I looked at this picture for a long time thinking something was amiss. It took me a while to figure out it was the swim suit. I have seen loads of pictures of Michael Phelps in a Speedo or other racing swim suit but I rarely see him in swim trunks or surf shorts.

Maybe it's me but Michael looks even better in this type of swim wear. Of course, he always has an amazing physique and a swimmer's body. However, he know seems to look more muscular than ever. His shoulders look a bit broader. I realize this might be an optical illusion as the shorts act to lengthen his torso. (Update: I have just read that he gained 15 pounds during his 6 month break from swimming)

One thing is apparent from the picture, swimming is a great way to increase your fitness, build muscles and shape your body. Swimming is a good muscular work out and is also a fantastic aerobic work out. If you are thinking about getting into shape, think about adding a few weekly swimming work outs to your fitness regime.

Michael Phelps looks great in a Speedo swim suit but he also looks pretty great in surf shorts. It's nice to see Michael taking part in some healthy activities in his spare time. Since the Olympic games, in which Michael Phelps dominated the swimming events, he has been photographed in bars and at parties, etc, etc. Seeing this picture of Phelps playing football on the beach is a real breath of fresh air. Good work Michael, but don't hurt yourself or twist an ankle on the beach. Remember the Rome Aquatic World Championships are just around the corner.

This site is full of pictures of Phelps in small speedo swim suits. I am pleased to include a picture of Michael Phelps in a different sort of swim suit for your viewing pleasure.
